VMC for Universal Use

Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X is a vertical machining center designed for universal applications.


Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X is a vertical machining center designed for universal applications. Efficient and fully equipped, the Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X substantially reduces machining times, offers repeatable measuring results, and lessens the difficulty of producing items like thin-walled workpieces.

Able to withstand the challenge of machining both hard and soft molds while producing cost-effective volume chip removal and high quality surfaces, the Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X is fitted with a Step-Tec in-line motor spindle achieving an output of 15kW with nearly 100Nm torque.

Additionally, the Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X boasts feedrates of 118fpm (X, Y) and 79fpm (Z) for cost-effective machining of three dimensional cavities like forged, die-casting and injection molding dies with low to medium complexity. The machine's range of application is extended by an optional fourth axis that is fully controlled by the HEIDENHAIN 530 TNC CNC and suitable for milling in both positioning mode and simultaneous machining procedures.

The Mikron VCE 1000 Pro-X also contains measuring probes and 3D Form Inspect software that allow workpieces to be measured on the machine while still in the clamp.
